CHAPTER 1079: 1156: PLUMMETING A THOUSAND FEET

The assets of the Seventh Princess were rapidly shrinking, and she was deeply worried. "It must be him!!" She clenched her fist, a suspicion emerging in her mind, which she believed was quite plausible.

It must be that man with the surname Liang, it must be him!

She carefully recalled that after returning to the city, she stayed put, actually waiting for a wizard. Back then, Liang Zhichen had been injured under her pursuit, and she obtained his blood-stained clothes at that time. She even collected Liang Zhichen’s blood.

The wizard cast a subterfuge, and then she suspected the Blue mansion, Chris, and William, who were related to Liang Zhichen, and decided to test them. Thus, Chris ended up with an arrow through his chest. However, that night, her City Lord Mansion caught fire, and the next day, her past misdeeds came to light, including the incident with Kindhearted Guo.

All at once, her reputation plummeted, and the image she had carefully crafted in front of the public was heavily tarnished. Every day, people came to Bixue Garden to curse her, even throwing rotten leaves and stinking eggs at its gates.

She had ordered the Hidden Guard to catch and punish a few people as a warning to others, and the stone steps outside Bixue Garden were drenched in blood. They had to use dozens of barrels of water for three days and nights to clean the bloodstains, but it couldn’t be completely washed away.

The rioting crowd seemingly got scared, but her properties had problems. She detected the involvement of the Blue mansion, Chris, and William, and was almost certain that the mastermind behind these three was undoubtedly that man with the surname Liang.

However, knowing is one thing, and dealing with it is another problem. The Seventh Princess pondered for a long time and finally made a decision.

If she wanted to put an end to all this, she must cut off the source at its root!

Her expression turned ruthless, and she immediately summoned a few Hidden Guards through her confidant, giving out orders in an orderly manner.

***

That day, Dong Huiying acted mysteriously, clearly having healed Yu Xiu, yet deliberately didn’t inform Elder Sun. As a result, Elder Sun assumed she hadn’t managed to heal Yu Xiu. But the outcome was that she left a surprise for Elder Sun!

It was genuinely a surprise. After Yu Xiu woke up, Elder Sun was overjoyed and nearly went crazy with happiness. The two of them lived shamelessly for a while, but soon after, Elder Sun stealthily took Yu Xiu through a tunnel into South City.

"You little rascal!" Elder Sun, upon reaching the Blue mansion and seeing Dong Huiying, couldn’t help but laugh and fume at the same time.

Is this an accountability visit?

Dong Huiying rubbed the back of her head and chuckled.

After that, Elder Sun stayed at the Blue mansion, using the excuse of Yu Xiu’s incomplete recovery, and since Lady Xiao Dong had caused him great joy and sorrow, he decided not to leave until Yu Xiu was fully recovered.

Gradually, Elder Sun discovered that Dong Huiying was skilled in both medicine and mystical arts, which made his hands itch. Initially, he wanted to compete with Dong Huiying, but later, it slowly turned into a desire to learn from her.

Thus, in the Blue mansion, during the entire day, no matter where Dong Huiying went, there was always a bright-eyed old man following her.

Dong Huiying: "..."

Elder Sun had entangled himself with Dong Huiying, making the Liang family brothers quite unhappy. Zhichen, on the other hand, was somewhat more composed and steady these days.
